I have to share that I do appreciate the prayers , knowing that the love of GOD is in many , that is so sincere , I try to make it a point when I say I will pray for someone that I do it right then , and that I mean I am serious about it , because it means so much to me to know others will join in prayer , we don’t know each other , but when we all get to Heaven — as the song says what a day of rejoicing that will be , we will see those we asked and those we didn’t even actually know that were praying for us , thank- you so very much !!!!

His word always brings me peace and I believe what you wrote about christianity being more than a once a week thing. I am not worthy but God fills me up with the light of the Holy Spirit anyway! Thank You again. Christine

My wife’s mother passed last Friday at around 7:30 p.m. , our cat went missing on Saturday , my wife’s daughter depleted our bank account almost , and we had my mother-in-law’s services Sunday , May 19th , the bank covered the money , we ask that you pray very hard for the daughter , we love her , she has problems with drugs , she has made us some promises , pray that she can keep them , and that our family will be blessed please , I know we sin , all of us do , but I know we are going through some trials , pray that we won’t lose faith , get thee behind us Satan !!

My own personal quote. “If its not Christ, its not me.” keeps my direction as a Christian straight and narrow. I flat out don’t let anything in that is not of my Lord Jesus Christ. I follow the Loving Holy spirit of Jesus Christ that is forever infused with my Eternal Soul because of HIS precious blood sacrifice and glorious resurrection. And if there are those who love Him with an authentic love I seek their guidance for my life also. Thank you for the quotes. I really appreciate them. ALL Praise to the Holy Creator of Everlasting Love.
